Social H( BY BETTY A new innovation in the swing cur riculum at the University was the freshman-sophomore ball at the gym Monday night. We have had junior seniors for some years but never be fore have the first and second year classes got together in a dance ses sion, all by themselves. The affair was carried' off in the approved way, v:ith sponsors, favors, and three no breaks. The gymnasium was decorated with red and white hearts around the walls and orchestra stand adding, of course, the Valentine touch. The favors which the sponsors received deserve mention on their own account--attrac tive bracelets with the Carolina seal. The lucky girls getting the bracelets were Elizabeth Parham, Sarah Har rison, Sara Ahlgren, Beverly Bates, Polly McKenzie, Amelia Arthur, and Catherine Webster. Officers of the sophomore class are Spruce White, president; Lawton Cothran, vice president; Ralph Dearth, secretary, and Sara Ahlgren. Leading the freshmen are Bill King, president; Gene Robinson, vice president and Catherine Webster, secretary. Besides the three no-breaks which we mentioned, there was a grand march for members of both classes, and freshman and sophomore figures. Chi Omega Our Chi Omega girls should cer tainly rate the title of all-American girls-or at least all-Southern.

A senior now, Essie has taken a leading part in most of our campus activities, at the same time maintain ing a splendid scholastic average. Her name is now on the Dean's Honor List. Besides serving as president of her sorority, she is a member of the Euphrosynean Literary Society, of Pi Gamma Nu, of Alpha Kappa Gamma leadership society and the Woman's athletic association. Essie is studying to be a laboratory technician and spends many of her after noons improving her "lab technique." She is already in the South Carolina Science Association. Essie says she is an ardent Jan Garber fan, and that "Stardust" is her favorite song. An all-round girl in sports, she likes swimming best and horse back rid ing next. When she was at Weselyan College in Macon, Ga., Essie was voted "Miss Health." Extension Service Needed---Babcock "Extension Service Possibilities and Needs of the ~ University of South Carolina," a statement setting forth the necessity of an extension service, has been prepared at the request of ia Taivearsty A!-:nni Associatinn by Dr. Havilah Babcock, head of the de partment of English literature. The purpose of the extension ser vice would be to provide material for South Carolina citizens that is un obtainable at any other state college or university. As Dr. Babcock says, "If you can't come to the University, the University, through its Extension Division, will come to you." According to Dr. Babcock, the ser vice would be of the greatest value, not to the students in the classrooms, but to those not privileged to attend -the taxpayers who cannot "identify themselves direct!y and physically wvith the institution. The service would make the facilities and resources accessible to individuals, societies, organizations, and secondary schools all over the State. "An appropriation of Ten Thousand Dollars will enable the Extension Div'ision at -the University to re-estab lish itself and resume most of its activities, says Dr. Babcock. All ap propriations were cut off ten years ago, but the service still receives in quiries for aid and facilities. *--U. S. C. --G-MAN (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) peared to be about 26 years old, answered all questions that wvere put to him by lawv students. Hie was nonchalant as he puffed away on a cigarette. Dickie Palmer, lawv student, who asked more questions than any other present, amused the crowd when he ventured: "Do you have any wvomen in the ser vice ?" "No," said Smith. "Of course we have women as secretaries and stenographers, but none are employed for regular ser vice." "Well, that girl must have been ly ing to me," Palmer yelled. It seemed that some young lady had told Palmer that she was with the de partment of justice, and Palmer con cluded that she wvas a G-Woman. Laymen have the idea that federal agents are the "Shoot first ; ask ques.. tions later" type of meni. On the con trary, G-Men are refined, cultured men who use their brains more than they do their guns. "Only eight men have been killed in the line of dluty in our department," Smith said. "'Baby Face' Nelson was respon sible for three of those deaths. You know how lhe paid for those men." ,Speaking of insurance, Smith told how each federal agent put $10 into a pool, which is turned over to the widow or dependant of any agent who is killed in the line of duty. Since there are 600 in the service, theat ol mnt to - proximately $6,000. If a man is kille< the pool is refilled by the same metho< Before a man becomes a regular ager he is given a three months' trainin course in Washington, which drills hir in the art of protecting himself, catch ing criminals, and giving evidence on th witness stand. The minimum salary pai an agent is $3,200 a year.
